If I draw the special permit for antlerless deer this year (which I have more points than the "average" listed, so who knows maybe this is my year), does the state send me another transport tag for the antlerless permit or do I have to go to the store and exchange my current transport tag (buck) for the special antlerless permit transport tag?
I ask this as I'm curious if by drawing the special anterless permit if I get to keep the existing transport tag for buck as well, and can shoot either antlerless or buck (as it's the same season dates for this particular unit). Or have to pick which transport tag before the hunt. As I know I'm limited to only one deer.

Your tag will be good for either an antlered or antlerless in your permit area, and your tag is good outside the permit area for whatever is open in those areas.
Good luck!!

You will get the permit in the mail, and you carry it and your regular tag during your hunt.

:yeah:
As stated just make sure to have the post card that specifies the permit on your person with your regular tag

As said above, you'll get a special permit in the mail if drawn, and your transport tag can then be used within the rules of your permit.

Another dumb question here: Why would you want a tag for an antlerless if you already have a tag for deer that you could use in a GMU that allows harvest of a buck? or "Any deer"?
Because not many units are open for "any deer." Could be specific to where the OP wants to hunt also.

Two of the units I prefer to hunt deer offer antlerless tags as a special permit.

What happens if you draw a elk cow and bull tag? I know you don't get both hunts, but do you get your points back if you opt out?
No.
You can hunt both permit seasons if you chose though, but can only take one animal.
One thing to keep in mind is the timing of each permit season.
So, if the bull permit hunt is before the antlerless, can hunt it and hold out for a good bull. And then, if you don't connect, you have the antlerless permit for back-up insurance as it were to put some meat in the freezer.
